Jay-Z Recalls Wild DMX Story
With a career in the music industry spanning more than two decades, X had become peers with some of the top names in hip-hop. One of those peers was Jay-Z as both their careers began peaking around the same time. During an appearance on LeBron James’ show, The Shop, Hov reminisced on the impact the X, had on audiences across the globe. And even with Jay already establishing himself as arguably the top rapper in the game, X still proved to be a tough act to follow.
“X is about to go on, and I’m like, I wanna see. X is going before me. And then he goes (growls), and the f—ing arena goes crazy. First of all, it’s deafening, and I’m like, ‘Oh s—,’” he said.
“He has a thing, like an Alize and Hennessey mix, it looks like blood, like he’s drinking blood, and he’s running back and forth. Halfway through the show, and then he takes his shirt. And the whole crowd goes wild.
“He’s going nuts, right? And I’m like, ‘S—.’ First, the guys are going crazy, now the girls are going crazy. And then he gets to the end, and he starts a prayer. Now they’re crying, the whole arena is crying. And they’re like, ‘OK, now you go.’”
